Pinch me, I'm dreaming! Members of a Green Party have actually remembered what they stood for and blamed the gender m*niacs in their midst? Miracles DO happen! 🥳💥
Can I say again, that the Green Party of England and Wales has disciplined, harrassed and expelled members with GC views, and bans all conference motions that are not 110% TRA-approved. However, there are court cases coming up this summer, that will expose how the party has been captured...
"....Shahrar Ali has embraced a definition of women that excludes both trans women" (i.e. men) "and intersex women from womanhood."
I wasn't famliar with the term "intersex" so I looked up Wiki:
"Intersex people are individuals born with any of several sex characteristics including chromosome patterns, gonads, or genitals that, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, "do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies"."
The last bit is the giveaway. "Typical binary notions of male or female bodies". The very expression "male or female bodies" IS A BINARY EXPRESSION.
Which means that "intersex women" is a contradiction in terms i.e. if you are "intersex" then you are automatically barred from womanhood - and manhood too for that matter.
The green party finally stand up!!! Delighted for women won't wheesht Glasgow, well attended and it looked great well done to them! LGB in ireland forming up to pushback on the transayatollohs great news. Good work from Reem Alsalem. Kathleen Stock was amazing this week. The dreadful witch hunt of Baroness falkner at least showed the genderborg stasi up for exactly what they are, over privileged, overpaid whingebags, she stood firm good on her. While the British cycling news is a step in the right direction its a step only, but more needs to be done. Will watch Glinner ASAP. The puppies are just gorgeous a lovely lift of the spirit to end what was a lot of excellent news, thanks JL
Great stuff, JL. Restores my faith that we’re winning here on TERF island! Yay! If only the Scottish Greens concentrated on the environment rather than dreaming about transing 8-year-olds.
Welcome to Not All Gays Ireland. There are lots of battles ahead in Ireland!!
Loved the bit about the Australian Greens - let's get on with climate change and housing!!!
Saving the puppies for later :)
Will cross post in a while but ending my piece tonight not with cats or dogs ( or aardvarks as I did the other night) but a piece in the Times by Deborah Ross 'Here are all the things I plan to do when I get my own penis.' Priceless!!
Go Reem. The global north is silencing women, well observed, Reem. The global north, which is also the home of the world's most liberal democracies, no longer. What an irony.
Brilliant isn't she. There's a slight pivot going on in world power and I get the feeling some nation states and their centres of power still just have their fingers in their ears. And they are not the shining examples of what they profess to be shining examples of.
What is striking about this lot of good news is that there seems to be much more debate going on and people are speaking out more. Fantastic for our side as the other side only have narcissism, demands and abuse. Thanks to JL for putting all these stories together because although we may have read about them as individual stories, it really helps to see a pattern emerging when they are all put together.
If you can find the photo again, I like the take of a Spinster: Up on the dais sit two bored parents overlooking their child who is watching a video for the 200th time and sitting too close to the TV! When I looked at the photo, perfect description!
Fantastic news. If only Greens in the UK would stand up like their Australian counterparts. “People are fed up. People want to talk about climate change, they want to talk about housing. They are sick of people coming to their branch meetings and telling them they are transphobic.” Brilliantly put and surely how most people feel in the UK too?
Speaking as a UK Green- what more can we do? All motions deemed even slightly critical of TRAs, have not even been allowed to be debated at Conference. Party members have been disciplined, harrassed, abused and even expelled if they have GC views. There is no forum for safe discussions. The good news tho- several court cases are at last coming to court this summer, when the whole shitty story will be exposed...
I really look forward to these court cases and the light they will shine on this whole mess. I know that Greens such as yourself must be despairing and I appreciate that you are trying hard to bring the sanity that the vast majority of the party likely wants.
Off subject but good - and I know not everyone appreciates Matt Walsh but here’s his film * free*. to watch to celebrate pride. Twitter staff upset and interfering again apparently which is why I’m posting link. His delivery makes me laugh, well worth watching. Hopefully link will work, some are not
Thanks CM, it hasn't worked for me but I’ll look elsewhere and try and find it. I enjoy his gender critical stuff. He understands how huge this fight is and he’s great at firing people up.
I know what you mean, it was working earlier but the first one I posted stopped working as well. Not sure if algorithm or staff. Elon Musk said ok to share manually with friends. I’m hoping he wants it to be watched widely and hasn’t caved to the nutters
Re Mr Emily cycle pants, all the commentators when this came out were saying how distressing it must be for trans athletes and aren’t we all sorry blar blar. Where’s the apology for all the women athletes how have suffered with all this. Lost places, lost the knowledge of how good they are compared to other women. I want to hear an apology for an obvious injustice. Winds me up
Oh absolutely, CB. It's ludicrous (and, were I trans, I'd find it bloody insulting) how people tiptoe around trans people like they're highly-strung children who have to be given their own way at all costs or they'll scream the place down. Not being allowed to run in a race you don't qualify for is hardly the end of the bloody world. Have a word with yourself.
Plus JL, sorry for preaching to the converted as usual but ffs, why are people so up for telling children that this particular psychological illness where you perceive yourself to have the wrong body- no doubt a truly distressing painful experience is some how a position to celebrate?!!? Its just f-ing child abuse. So upsetting.
That's one of the things which upsets and baffles me the most, CB. Beautiful, perfect children with their whole lives ahead, pushed into poisoning themselves. It's sick.
Its got to end soon. I worry that the internet’s ability to completely brain wash people will be a really hard battle. It unleashes our potential for genuine darkness. Hate it. Still start with the law, and the institutions that have to be clearly accountable. Maybe the rest will follow. Thats why i write to my mp demanding clarification on these issues. Kids need to know where they will start legally if they go down this regressive path. Sorry i know you know all this. Just venting in a safe space. Been away from my phone for a week! I think thats a much better balance for me. Thanks JL. Have a lovely sunday.

My pleasure!
'Transayatollahs' -brilliant!
Trust people in the U.K. to provide all of us with excellent insults, whingebags indeed!
Great stuff, JL. Restores my faith that we’re winning here on TERF island! Yay! If only the Scottish Greens concentrated on the environment rather than dreaming about transing 8-year-olds.
Indeed!
Yes , if only …
Have a whole bouquet this week Jl 💐
I spoiled my last ballot paper saying I wouldn’t wheesht , not that it makes a whole lot of difference up here in scottishstasiland
Brilliant wee pups , my Frankie is definitely the one stealing all the treats
Thank you so much, Petal! Best wishes to you and your Frankie! x
You’re costing me a fortune in flowers 🤣🤣
Thanks as ever, JL, always such a relief!

These good news updates are so necessary, so thank you, JL.
My pleasure, Forest!

A good week and well done Scotland, yet again!
Pleased to see students speaking out against this silencing of women.
There's an article by Professor Arif Ahmed, director for freedom of speech and academic freedom for the Office for Students. A necessary appointment.

Right, now I'm going to spend the next 20 minutes looking at those adorable puppies.
Enjoy!
I just hope people wake up and stop this nonsense! The gender cult has gone way too far!

Thanks, TT! Glad it helps!
Absolutely Agee! I feel there is more appetite for debate. It makes the protester in the Oxford debate look.. well, a bit of an idiot 🙄

It’s great to know that there is some hope !

Happy viewing
